You say you are putting a 455 "back" into a 69 Cutlass but a 69 Cutlass should not have had a big block in it to start with so I'd _ass_u_me_ that you have the small block pads. Ergo, you would want the small block motor mounts. -- Cliff "free advice is often overpriced" Simpson & Kermit http://www.ucalgary.ca/~csimpson/TheOldsZone.html
